Kathy's Finest Moments

  • Managing media relations for the 18 members of the state senate Democratic caucus....all at once. As the late Senator Frank Roberts said, "It's like one ballerina with 18 choreographers!"
  • Heading off alone to Alaska for a three-week sabbatical in 1998, and hiring on as a cook at a fishing lodge. (Free labor = free food and lodging.)
  • Landing my first big federal grant for the Oregon University System: $350,000 from the US Department of Commerce, in 1999.
  • Helping to launch the STARS Foundation with then First Lady Sharon Kitzhaber, and then serving on the board for eight years. The program now helps deliver a teen pregnancy prevention program to almost every middle school student in Oregon.
  • Giving birth to Annie and Abigail. Finding Stu. In that order.
